The Washington Commanders only made one move before tomorrow’s game against the New York Giants. Cornerback depth was thin with Jonathan Jones out with a rib injury. Washington was down to Mike Sainristil, Noah Igbinoghene, and Antonio Hamilton Sr. on the active roster.
Darius Rush was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season. He was a 5th round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2023, and has been with several teams since entering the league. He signed to the Commanders practice squad after getting waived by the Browns before the season started.

The offensive tackle, who came to Washington in an offseason trade, has been as good as promised, and he’ll be seeking a contract extension after this year.
Through 13 games, he has played at a high level for the Commanders. That deal he signed with Houston is set to expire after the 2026 season. Extension talks between Tunsil and GM Adam Peters almost certainly await this offseason.
“Whatever happens, happens,” Tunsil said. “Of course, I want to...

Commanders fan confidence
I’ll be honest, following the brutal 0-31 shutout loss to the Vikings this past Sunday, I expected fan confidence expressed in our Reacts survey of Hogs Haven readers to collapse to single digits.
It didn’t.
Instead, roughly 1 in 3 respondents to our survey continue to express confidence in the direction of the team.
This isn’t really anything new, though. The three lowest points in the year for fan confidence came in Weeks 8, 11 and 15 following bad losses to Kansas City, Detroit and Minnesota.
However ugly the on-field losses were in those low points, though,...

The Washington Commanders held their third, and final practice before they travel to New Jersey to take on the New York Giants on Sunday. Three players have been ruled out, and another two are questionable. Jayden Daniels was ruled out earlier in the week, and Dan Quinn said he’s still not cleared for contact. He was limited in practice this week, and the team will reassess him for the final three games of the season. He reaggravated the injury when he returned a month after the original elbow dislocation.
Drake Jackson also continues to sit out as he attempts to...

“I’m excited to…do what I know I can do,” Sinnott said.
Sinnott was the second tight end taken off the board when the Commanders selected him with the 53rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He was praised for his route running coming out of Kansas State, where he recorded 1,138 yards and 10 touchdowns on 82 receptions over three seasons, as well as his potential as a blocker. He’s done more of the latter during his NFL...

It’s week 15 of the NFL season and the 3-10 Washington Commanders will be facing a 2-11 New York Giants team on the road at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET. The Commanders set the tone for the Giants season with a 21-6 drubbing of the Giants in week 1, and the Giants have gone on to win only two games since then, though those two games were against the Chargers and Eagles. Despite the poor record, the Giants season has shown some promise, with the emergence of QB Jaxson Dart and most...

This time last week, fan confidence was rebounding after a hard fought overtime loss to division-leading Denver Broncos. Expectations were heightened by the return of star QB Jayden Daniels to the starting lineup, and strong performances by several Commanders.
That all went over a cliff in the shock 0-31 blowout at the hands of a previously spiralling Minnesota Vikings squad, led by a historically bad second-year QB. The loss marked Dan Quinn’s first shutout as head coach in Washington. The Commanders looked listless and inept in most areas of the game. Not surprisingly, fan confidence is back to cratering.

With so many implications for the College Football Playoff, there was a ton of hype for the Championship Week games. Many delivered. The Big Ten Championship between Indiana and Ohio State turned out to be a competitive defensive battle. A late missed field goal sealed the Buckeyes’ fate as they fell to the Hoosiers. It took overtime to settle the ACC Championship. UVA put together an impressive drive to tie the game late, but an interception by the Cavaliers ended the game and made the Blue Devils champs.
Other games were not that competitive. BYU hung with Texas Tech for...

Kirk Cousins will start his fourth straight game after Michael Penix Jr’s season ended on IR after he tore his ACL.

The Washington Commanders were on the practice fields again today as they prepare for a road game against the New York Giants on Sunday. There aren’t any new injuries today, and a few players returned to practice. CB Jonathan Jones (rib) and LB Bobby Wagner (knee) didn’t practice again today. Jones is dealing with a new injury, and hasn’t practiced since showing up on the injury report yesterday. Wagner didn’t practice the first two days last week, but returned Friday and played his usual 100% of snaps on defense. Expect him back at practice tomorrow, and on the field in...
